"Tribology: Fundamentals and Advancements" ed. by Jürgen Gegner

Recent results and developments are preferably presented and evaluated in the context of established knowledge, in this textbook, it merges basic concepts with new findings and approaches. The book aims to convey current research trends in the light of the state of the art to students, scientists and practitioners and help them solve their problems.

As the subject of tribology comprises lubrication, friction and wear of contact components highly relevant to practical applications, it challenges scientists from chemistry, physics and materials engineering around the world on todays sophisticated experimental and theoretical foundation to complex interdisciplinary research.
